FINYL FANTASY 3 : The Battle For Soul Society

Last night marked the third installment in NYCRaver's Finyl Fantasy series: FINYL FANTASY 3 : The Battle For Soul Society by NYCR and FTSA. The location for this event was a beautiful nightclub located in the heart of Brooklyn that's been dubbed The Cage. Adding to the venue's bass packed surround system, NYCR was nice enough to bring in a wall of bass that did not disappoint. Party-goers could be found raging both upstairs and downstairs to some of the nastiest beats that your ears have come across from none other than the celebs of today's scene: Frankie Bones, DJ X-Dream, John Bas, DJ Atom C and so many others. Those who missed last night's festivities are already logging onto NYCRavers.com to buy tickets to their upcoming event: NAUGHTY NEON 2.

This was my first party at The Cage but I've heard stories about this spot and it sounds like NYCR really got their act together and cleaned it up because there was ample space for dancing the night away. The basement area was almost completely opened up with a bar on the left for all your refreshment needs.

When asked what he thought of the party, Kevin Sarcastic was kind enough to reply with his thoughts, "The deco was great. You could tell 2k and the rest of NYCR put a lot of thought into this party in an attempt to top their last two successful Final Fantasy themed parties. The Eye Candy dancers looked delicious as always and the crowd that showed up were all generally friendly fun loving people. The coat check girls, however, are greedy as hell and wouldn't take your coat without a tip or return your coat without a tip (on top of the actual coat check charge). The security is the most heinous anti-PLUR wannabe cop squad in the scene. I watched them flip off party goers, stick their hands in kids pockets for no real reason and generally be overbearing buzz kills." The good always comes with the bad, and Kevin clearly shows that.  Here are what some more party goers had to say about the night:

"Amazing night. Danced my ass off n had work at 7am this morn"
- Rick

"wow had an ok night ur security was really tight and to much dubstep for me but otherwise bones n icey xdream toar it up see ya peeps lata ; )"
- Joseph

"This was just beyond amazin!!! ^.^"
- Prince Corpse Monster Esproc

"Nice to see different music genres in each room."
- Ross

"The night was loud as the DJ'S know how to make a crowd. They played and played where no one wanted to walk away.. Everyone dancing as they forget their place in reality...Finyl Fantasy was fun to ignore the drama and remember the PEACE LOVE UNITY AND RESPECT♥"
- Delineation Digital Media

Co-author of EGP, [OWL] Paus3, had this to say, "I was only there for the end, but the vibes in the room were simply awesome. Good people, good times. Loved seeing fellow [OWL] members giving shows and even fighting on stage."

Paus3 Trading with Me By: Yaz

I was personally blown away having shown up as early as 10PM and already seeing a crowd start to form in both areas of The Palace was a pleasant surprise. On the flip side, a mandatory coat check at $3 is never something you're thrilled to encounter, however, I'm sure everyone was glad they didn't have their bulky outerwear on to weigh them down. The dance floors were packed and upstairs had sexy caged dancers hanging from the ceiling. A glove-off and other lights show battles went down on stage as Paus3 had mentioned and the crowd was going wild. Individual glove light shows were also being thrown in every corner. I got to trade with a few of the other glovers and let's just say many faces were melted.

Next week is A Heartless Valentine and Pussy Power!! Come out and catch us there! Until next time!!

A Land of Magic and Zombies

When you look on your upcoming events and check out what parties are coming up, the number of people attending can be one good way to tell if it's going to be a hit or not. Taking the extra step and seeing what the comments are like is a good indication to tell how many of those "yes" clicks will actually be there. From my experience, it's a mix between that and venue. The scene is almost always popping with hundreds of people coming out to dance and party, and for my first M.D. Productions event, Fairytale Massacre was off the hook!

Note Boys Face... 'Nuff Said By: Ronnie C.

This party was at "The Cage", I was just there the week beforehand for Chaos, a Kingzly party. The scope of the night was very different from that party in terms of music played and people that came. You still had the cage which had quite a few different dancers at any given moment, two floors of pumping beats, and tons of people. The music was all EDM with some of the hottest DJ's in the mix. I personally got to sit in on everyone's set! It an important part of going into these events. You should know who is entertaining you.

Dirty Dan! By: Paus3

W@X By: Paus3

 You had the following DJs pumping music out:
SPRITE
AJAX BEATS
TOM ROGERS
GOBS THE ZOMBIE
GRIME SYNDICATE 
NOOMI RA VS RAY GUNNZ
GABY NOODLE 
W@X vs FATTIE FATZ 
GALVATRON
DIRTY DAN
JOHN BAS
HOW HARD vs WINK-E
DJ BIZZARE

The doors opened an hour late to this party, keeping party goers freezing outside and shafting
Gaby Noodle from the 1's and 2's. Whatever the issues were, it sucked worst for everyone that was there before original door time to be the first ones in. However, when the crowd started getting in, you could see the looks of excitement on everyone's faces. The lights were looking awesome from Power Trip, Morgan Freeman was in the house with the digital mapping on the walls, and the music was pumping, what's not to like?!

Tom Rogers By: Paus3

Music was hot, I was very excited to hear some trance with Tom Rogers (featured this week for the mix!), but the whole beginning of his set got f'ed up! For the first 20 min, the input was wrong from his gear, so they had to switch him over to the CDJs, and then he got his stuff popping. Even though a lot of his set was muffled, he's put it out exclusively to the readers of this blog!! ((COMING SOON!!))

This was a theme party, with people dressed up as either fairytale creatures and characters, or zombies. One thing I couldn't stand, the fairies. I mean literally, I kept getting smacked in the face by girls running around with these huge fake wings on their backs. I almost had my freakin eye poked out!! A few people went all out with their costumes though for their was a costume contest where the winner would receive a free tattoo from Heart of Brooklyn Tattoo! The winner was none other than Jevee who came in as the Queen of Hearts!

There were so many people in the house! As I was mentioning earlier, the people here were mostly the PLUR-full party goers, with a lot of fresh faces coming straight from the club scene. This was as opposed to Chaos where it was pretty much 50/50 with a lot of "bro" and "son" going on. I don't have a problem with that because when it comes down to it, all I feel is the PLUR, regardless of how people talk, dress or act. When we are at a party, we are all having a good time together, and I have yet to experience it differently. You also had UV body painting by Pixel, and a massage table with Batman! Always love seeing these guys around, there attractions always add more color and activity to the party!

Whaaaaat?! By: Paus3

 Now my favorite part, glovers!! There had to have been about 25 glovers that came down to Fairytale. Aside from the ones I already chill with, there were a bunch of new faces there as well. It's always really fresh to meet new people, but one really nice meet was with D3bst3p. If you don't know about her, well you are missing out! She keeps a site similar to this, writing about the scene, taking pictures, and not only that, but she gloves too! I spent a lot of time talking with her about the community, and then we traded shows. It's such a god feeling to share not only thoughts, but emotions, and that's what gloving comes down to, an electric display of emotion (EDE).

Wicked Cool By: Paus3

I actually brought my camera out to this one to continue learning more about photography, and I think I'm getting the hang of it! Out of 451 pictures, about 200 of them came out good enough to use in my official album. But I didn't want to just trash the other shots...so I created a slideshow to show them all, and walk you through the night!! 


I got this idea from one of the coolest people I've met on the scene, Sam Freund. He has made videos like this before, and it inspired me to try and do one myself. His are amazing, I mean, see for yourself!
